Surge Protector: A device which protects component circuitry from high alternating voltage peaks or transients.
PowerCenter Switched Outlet: These outlets are designed for high current audio components such as amplifiers.
The components plugged into these outlets will not receive AC power unless the PowerCenter is turned on
either manually or by remote control.
Switched (Timed) Outlet: Switched outlet(s) that receives power only after the main on/off switch is turned on
either manually or by remote control.
Transient: A momentary surge on a signal or power line which may cause component breakdown and failure.
UL: A common abbreviation for Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc., a corporation supported by some underwriters
for the purpose of establishing safety standards on types of equipment or components. UL listing is not mandated by law,
manufacturers often voluntarily seek the UL listing as a way to communicate a product‘s attributes in a manner
that is recognized by the general public. All Monster Power products are either UL listed (under the stringent UL
1449 revision 2 code), or are currently going through the listing process.
Unswitched Outlet: These outlets always receive AC power, as long as the Power Component is plugged
into an AC power outlet.
Video Noise: In the video-frequency range, any electrical disturbance introduced from
a source extraneous to the signal.
Volt (V): The unit of measurement of electromotive force. One Volt is equivalent to the force required
to produce a current of one ampere through a resistance of one ohm.
Voltage: Electrical pressure–i.e., the force which causes current to flow through an electrical conductor.
Voltage Rating: The maximum voltage which an electrical device or component can sustain
without breaking down.
